Mr. Matthew Stephen
Being the Principal of Conowingo Elementary School is both a privilege and an honor. My career in education began over 26 years ago in New York, and since then, I've been an elementary classroom teacher, Local Support Teacher, and Assistant Principal for six years. I am an alumnus of Old Westbury State University and earned my Master's in Educational Technology at Long Island University. I continued to expand my knowledge by receiving my Advanced Certification in School Administration.
My wife and I live in Oxford, PA, and we have four children between both of us. In the summer, we enjoy traveling to Jamaica or visiting local places to listen to live music. I enjoy living on our small farm, where we have horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, cats, and dogs. I am an avid sports fan. The NY Giants and NY Mets are the teams that I root for.
The Cecil County Public School district has a reputation for excellence, and I love working with teachers, staff, and families to create the best learning environments for our students. I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Conowingo community and can't wait to see your students at our school! As always, I am here to support all of our families throughout the school year. Please do not hesitate to contact me via phone or email or meet in person.

Mrs. Ashlee Groce
My name is Ashlee Groce, and I have the privilege of serving as the Assistant Principal at Conowingo Elementary School. Prior to becoming an Assistant Principal, I was a teacher in Cecil and Harford County Public Schools where I taught second, fourth, and fifth grades. I later became an Elementary Instructional Coach with Cecil County Public Schools where I provided professional development to teachers, supported new teachers, and wrote curriculum. I decided to become an Assistant Principal because I wanted to impact more students than just the ones in my classroom. I served as an Assistant Principal at Chesapeake City Elementary School and Thomson Estates Elementary School before coming to Conowingo Elementary School.
I’ve lived in Cecil County my whole life, and it’s where my husband and I chose to raise our twin sons. I am a proud graduate of North East High School and Notre Dame of Maryland University in Baltimore, Md. I received my school administration certification after completing coursework at Wilmington University. I am also a National Board Certified Teacher.
Thank you for entrusting me with your child(ren)! I am always here to provide support, so please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I’m looking forward to a great year!
